After Mass as he was leaving the front door, the priest caught up with him & said, "Murphy, I am so glad ya decided to come to Mass. What made ya come?"
Murphy said, "I got to be honest with you Father, a while back, I
Misplaced me hat & I really, really love that hat. I know that McGlynn
Had a hat just like mine & I knew he came to church every Sunday. I also
Knew that he had to take off his hat during Mass & figured he would
Leave it in the back of church. So, I was going to leave after Communion & steal
McGlynn's hat."
The priest said, "Well, Murphy, I notice that ya didn't steal McGlynn's
Hat. What changed your mind?"
Murphy replied, "Well, after I heard your sermon on the 10 Commandments,
I decided that I didn't need to steal McGlynn's hat after all."
With a tear in his eye the priest gave Murphy a big smile & said; "After
I talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' ya decided you would rather do
Without your hat than burn in Hell?"
Murphy slowly shook his head. "No, Father, after ya talked about 'Thou
Shalt Not Commit Adultery' I remembered where I left me hat.
